Is that a Polish slide hammer? Fully sick brah

>>1467875
Can I use my 20% off coupon on that?

I need to lose some of my cheap old pliers so I can justify spending $500 on Knipex or Klein. I found a shitty set abandoned in an old pickup at work one day and now they’re taking up space in my toolbox.

>Slip Joint Pliers
Does anybody actually ever use these for anything? I can’t think of a single job where I would rather have slip joints instead of another tool.

>Slip Joint Pliers
I use them for plumbing and general use pliers.

>40% less effort

never building manly forearms

>>1467921
wtf have you nigger rigged in your cuck shack?

>manly forearms
That’s what fappin is for. The Crescent linesman’s pliers with the same pivot joint are incredible, they grip so much tighter than any other pliers I have owned.

It’s probably a little unnecessary for those snips since you aren’t supposed to cut wire thicker than like 10ga with them. Should get through those stubborn single strands like butter though.

DeWalt has compount action pliers too but I wasn’t a fan of how they felt. Not as robust as the Apex brand pivot joint design.

And I think anon’s pic is a nigger rigged slide hammer or dent puller.

I’ll use channel lock type pliers for plumbing and linesman’s or needle nose for the other stuff.

Knipex 9" Linesman's. If youre doing residential wirinh they are the shit. Kleins are for women and incompetents.

Looks bretty kewl with that crimper, but do they pivot?

>>1467976
I'm a mechanic I use slip joint pliers all the time. Turning tie rods, loosen blenders rusted away to nubs, squeezing shit, twisting hoses without smashing pipes they're on. Most used pliers I have are slip joint pliers. I wear them out.

>cheap
>has a spring
>fits well in a tool belt
Perfect for telecoms like myself

Useless for holding things tight, but great for pulling 14/2 wire through insulation filled holes in the wall. That and hard to reach hose clamps in my truck (not the nut driver kind).

>irwin channel locks on a ratchet strap with a longer threaded rod and a ratchet driver.
>of all the things confusing me in this pic, it's the 3M tape on the threaded rod.

What the fuck am I looking at?

>>1467875
What a piece of shit. The government must pay him forshit to be done exactly that way.

Shred it, magnet sort it, weight sort it.

>>1468071

the tapes there to keep the socket sliding on the ready rods noise down so he doesnt wake his mom up

>>1467875
The utility of that machine makes me hard. The skill of the operator pulling and sorting parts like it was a lobster dinner, makes me cum.

>>1467859
>pivoting pliers.

Bepis you have got to be. No... you ARE the single biggedt fucking retard faggot i have ever had the displeasure of shitposting with. And I have been on /b since 2006.

YOU ARE THE BANANA OF /DIY. KYS

>>1467976
You suck and everyone hates you.

>>1468055
What i crikey fuck is this?

>>1468074
>The government
wow

>>1467875
Is is bad that i am shopping for land to build a salvage yard just so i can dig through all the junk and die a crazy old man with 400 lawn mowers and shit?

>>1468326
The government subsidizes a lot of uneconomic things, especially recycling.
Like paying $50 for a scrapped 'radiator' vs the actual scrap metal price.

>>1468329
Hording is always crazy. Some people think "this is valuable" and they sit on it their whole life. Value comes from sales, not from sitting.

I have an 8 acre salvage yard. Dismantle 50 to 100 cars a week. More than double my money on each car.
I get people all the time telling me how I should run my business. "OMG that fender was worth $50 and you crushed it" Sitting on shit hoping someone will come along and buy it is insane.
Sam Walton didn't make billions, by doing what Sears did. You gotta keep it moving.

let's see your proof

>>1468341
If you know someone in government, guilty of price fixing, post their name.
government doesn't subsidize scrap radiators.
A "core" charge for your old radiator, has nothing to do with government.

>Sitting on shit hoping someone will come along and buy it is insane.

the nice junkyards that keep rows and rows of old vehicles so you can get "that" part from 20 years ago amaze me. I believe that most of them don't make any profit at all, but are owned by cool guys who just like to help other guys out. However I do see your point of view, if you are in it to make money, maximize your profits.

it opens radiator hose spring clamps. if you think it's stupid, you've never worked on european FWD vans that have a mail slot instead of a hood.

If I need to use it, I'm probably angry. Why they gotta aim them clamps in a way i can't just grab it with pliers...

>instead of a hood
